GiddyUp – explaining how it works
If you want a more in-depth look at this operator and its features outside of promotions, please check out my separate
GiddyUp review. However, to start, I’ll at least quickly explain the premise of the site.
GiddyUp will be a parimutuel powered games site that should contain a range of casino-style games that you can play with credits. These credits can be purchased in packages using a real money USD deposit balance.
You do not play the games for real money. Instead, you can only use credits, because when you purchase credit packages, behind the scenes, the site will randomly assign a range of parimutuel horse racing wager results to those credits. You then play casino-style games, which instead of Random Number Generator systems, will simply use the symbols and game features to reveal the results of the parimutuel wagers to you and you will either win or lose.
With this in mind, I expect a range of promotions at GiddyUp relating to both your deposit balance and the credit purchases.

Expected GiddyUp bonus for new US players
Similar to sweepstakes casinos and real money casinos, the GiddyUp parimutuel gaming site will have an exclusive welcome bonus that only new customers can get. I’ve been given info relating to this, and it looks to be a pretty good promotion, where you can potentially get some bonus credits for free.
What will the GiddyUp bonus for new USA customers be?
I do not have all the details, but the information I’ve been given points towards a $5 no deposit bonus when you register an account with GiddyUp. I think this is a brilliant welcome bonus. Yes, it’s not the largest value, but you are getting some credits for free, which means you will be able to try out the different games this parimutuel powered gaming site will offer.
Some important terms and conditions that I have got about this promotion are as follows:
- No deposit is needed to get it. You’ll just need to register a new account.
- The $5 in free credits cannot be used until you’ve done the full KYC check.
- Any winnings from the credits are given as withdrawable cash.
- The promotion is optional and you do not need to take it.
- Anyone who can legally register at GiddyUp can get it.
I think these T&Cs are easy to understand for both veterans, and people new to this concept. I do think that perhaps once the site gets established, they might also consider adding some type of deposit match bonus as well as this $5 free credits no deposit offer.
How will you be able to get the GiddyUp welcome bonus?
I do not know the exact process, but I assume that the welcome bonus will be directly tied to account registration. You might need to opt into the bonus during the account creation process, and you can expect that to look something like this:
-
Click the relevant GiddyUp links or banners on this page.
-
Click the sign up button.
-
Enter the relevant personal details.
-
Accept site T&Cs.
-
Finish the form.
-
Verify your email and/or SMS if needed.
-
Log in to your GiddyUp account.
I expect that once you’ve registered your account and logged in, the $5 in free credits will be added to your account. It will then be advisable to do the KYC check so that you gain access to all the site’s features.
My thoughts on the GiddyUp welcome bonus
This is a great starting offer from GiddyUp and I think they are going in the right direction. It’s simple, gives you real potential value, and looks to be easy to claim. As I said above, I do think that a partnering deposit match bonus could also be something they should add in the future so those who do want to spend more can get a little more playability.
I do have some information from the operator regarding promotions and features for existing customers that will be available when the site goes live. This looks to be a pretty comprehensive start, and I think they have done a good job of covering most of the common promotional items I expect gaming sites to offer, such as daily credits and a referral scheme.
There looks to be a daily free rewards feature where each day, you can log in to your GiddyUp account and get some free credits. The amount and exact process is unknown, but anything will be a bonus, and I think this is my favorite promotional feature, as it means you will always have something to be able to play the games with. A key point to remember for this bonus though, is that you will only be able to get it if you have fully verified your ID via the KYC check. If you try to get it without verifying your ID first, you’ll get a reminder asking you to do so.
GiddyUp will also have an awesome gamification feature in the form of daily quests. I’m incredibly competitive, and a gamer at heart, so bonus features like this are really appealing. It looks as if you will get the chance to complete random challenges each day, with the potential of getting cash bonus prizes. Examples of the challenges could be playing a minimum number of spins on a specific slot, making credits purchases, or playing specific games. You can guarantee that I’ll dive straight into this feature when the site goes live!
💰 First Time Purchase Offer
In addition to the GiddyUp welcome bonus, there will be a first time purchase offer which will give you a discount on the first credit package you buy. From what I can see, this will be known as the starter boost and it will give you a 25% credit boost on your first purchase of up to $50. This will be a one-time offer only, so once you’ve made your purchase, the bonus will disappear. I’ll definitely be using this bonus when I can register an account – there’s literally no downsides to it and from what I can see, the terms and conditions look to be pretty flexible.
You will also be able to get your friends on board when GiddyUp launches as there will be a referral scheme. I assume that when you register a GiddyUp account, you will get a unique referral code or link. You’ll then be able to give that link or code to your friends, and if they sign up using it, and make a minimum $20 deposit, a $10 referral bonus is yours. The referral bonus will be credited as bonus cash, but there will be a playthrough requirement which is yet to be announced. As with the other promotions this app should offer, you will need to complete the fully KYC check before being able to use the referral scheme.
My verdict – will the GiddyUp welcome offers be any good?
I’m expecting big things from this parimutuel powered games site and a large part of that is because of the GiddyUp promotions I’ve seen. It looks like the operators understand the importance of promotions, and giving their customers value, so I expect the app will launch with a range of fantastic features. This will start with a cracking $5 no deposit bonus which you can immediately use to start playing the games with.
The other features that I have seen also look especially interesting. I love the idea of a daily credits feature, even if it’s a small amount, and daily quests will add an additional gamification element to the app. You’ve then potentially got the opportunity to invite your friends for a $10 referral bonus too. It’s certainly a positive start from this brand, and as soon as it goes live, I will place links and banners here that you will be able to click to get signed up.
💰 Is there a GiddyUp deposit bonus?
I do not expect there will be one to start. Instead, from what I’ve been given, there will be a GiddyUp no deposit bonus of $5, and all you need to do to get it is register an account with the site and fully verify your ID when it goes live.
I don’t think there will be a GiddyUp bonus code to start with. The app might use codes in the future, but none of the promotions that I’ve had information about use codes. Instead, it looks like you’ll just have to follow instructions or click specific links.
🪙 Is there a GiddyUp bonus for PMG customers?
Yes! It has been stated that there will be a GiddyUp welcome bonus for new customers. If you register a new account with the site and fully verify your ID via the KYC check, you will receive a $5 credits bonus which as far as I can see, does not have any wagering requirements.
🏇 How does GiddyUp work?
GiddyUp is a parimutuel powered gaming site. You deposit USD to your account balance, and then use your money to purchase credits. When you make a credit purchase, in the background, GiddyUp assigns a random parimutuel horse racing wager result to your credits. You then play casino-style games to effectively reveal the results of your parimutuel wagers.
Initially, you will only be able to register an account with GiddyUp if you are a US resident and over 21. Additionally, the site will only be available in the following states – AL, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, KS, ND, NE, NM, NY, OK, RI, WI, and WY. More states may become available in the future, and GiddyUp operates under an Advanced Deposit Wagering license provided by the Oregon Racing Commission.
